THE COMPASS OUT OF ORDER.
Cause of She Wreck of the Steamer
 Merrfmac

HALIFAX, July 13.-Fifty- of the passengers of the wrecked steamer Merrimac proceeded for Boston to-day by the steamer Carroll. The remainder will be brought to Halifax at once by the steam tug A. o. Whit ney. The statement of Pilot Reynolds that the steamers compass was out of order is confirmed. The pilot asserted that the com pass had been out of order for long time and that the captain had been told of it. A small lot of baggage was brought by the steamer City of St. John to day, but most of that which was saved remains at the island. Nearly all ot the women passengers who came by the Cityof St. John were dressed in clothing belonging to people residing in the neighborhood of Catharine's river.

 Aggregating Two Hundred Thous- and Dollars.
 NEW YORK, July 13.-Mr. Peter White, representing the new company to develop the Irish woolen industry recently organized by Messrs. Parnell and Davitt, returned to Dub lin by the steamer Britannia this morning, taking with him as a result of six weeks work in America sample orders to the value of $2oO,O0o, over e4O,oo0 sterling. To the large gathering of friends, which included several leading business men, assembled at the dock to see him off, he expressed himself as delighted with the reception given the project, which he viewed as one of the great hopes of the Irish people to-day. Mir. White will return in January with the goods. He could have taken almost double the amount named, but doubted the ability of the mills now in operation in Ireland to satisfactorily fill the orders at present At the meeting of the National league last evening vote of en- couragement to MT. White and his co-workers was passed.

And So Allowed HOsmer and Mckay to
 Win the Double Seun Race.
 WORCESTER, Mass, July 13.-The second day in the professional regatta was taken up with double scull race between Hamm and Teemer, Hosmer and Mckay and Ross and Lee. The race was won by Hosmer and Mckay in 1920. The course was three miles with one turn. The crowd gathered at Lake Quinsigamond was even smaller than that of yesterday. Hamm and Teemer were the fa- vorites, being backed two to one against the field for first place. There was good deal of betting on the second place, Hosmer and Mckay being sometimes preferred to Ross and Lee, though there appeared to be but little choice. The race was started shortly before five o'clock. At the word "go" Hos- mer and Mckay at once took the lead. Ross and Lee took second place and Hamm and Teemer got away at the same moment, but to everybody's surprise brought up the rear. At the twentieth stroke Hamm and Teemer stopped and Hamm held up his port oar. The blade had been broken off short. After the race he said he broke it off at the third stroke, but thought he could win even with that disadvantage. Hosmer and Mckay were rowing furiously with thirty eight strokes minute and put length of clear water be- tween themselves and Ross and Lee, who were pulling only thirty-six. The latter soon crossed over into the Boston mems water and the two crews rowed tandem for three quarters of a mile, each dropping off by two strokes minute as the Pine Tree, Wigwam Hill and Coal Mine brook were reached. The New Workers got 8 good deal of wash, but did not seem to mind it. Ross and Lee began to gain at the end of the mile and subsequently crossed to their own water and turned the mile and half stake almost as soon as did Hosmer and Mckay; time m. 3 8. Hosmer and Mckay squared away first, however, and came back with thirty strokes minute They gained two lengths in almost no time. Ross and eight strokes and when they were four lengths behind at the end of the second mile they spurted to thirty-two and half closed up the gap. Hosmer and Mckay were not caught mapping. They also spurted and the stretch of clear water was soon as long as before. From this point to the finish there was neither incl dent nor variation in the race, subsequent squirt of the New Workers availing nothing. Hosmer and Mckay finished in IS minutes, 20 seconds; Ross and Lee stop ped rowing thirty feet from the line, but their boats foated over ten seconds later. Barring Hamm's unfortunate accident this was very and satisfactory race. The re- gatta closes tomorrow with the final heat in the three mile single scull race. Teemer, Hamm and Lee will start. There will be six starters in the consoation race.

The manuscript dropped from Henry's
hands. A sickenirg sense Of horror over
powered him. The question which had
occurred at the close OF the first act Of the
play assumed o pew and terrible interest
now. As far as the scene of the countess
soliloquy, the incidents of the second act
had reflected the events of his late brothers
life as faithfully as the incidents of the
first act. Wa the monstrous plot, re-
vealed in the lines which he had Just read.
the offspring Of the countess morbid i'm
agination; or hsd she in this case also de-
luded herself with the idea that
she was inventing when she was
really writing under the infu-
ence of her own guilty remem-
brance of the past? If the latter interpre-
tation were the true one. ne had Just read
the narrative of the contemplated murder
of his brother, planned in cold blood by a
woman who was at that moment iahabit-
ing the same house with him. While, to
make the fatality complete, Agnes herself
had innocently provided the cousp;rators
with the n man who was fitted to be the
passive agent of their crime.
Even the bare doubt that it might be 30,
was more than he could endure. He left
his room; resolved to force the truth out
of the Countess, or 10 denounce her be-
fore the authorities as a murderess at large.

A man came Yesterday evening to one OF
the windows in the p~ostofice where stamps
are retailed. There was q long line Of poo
ple to the right of the window waiting 70
be served, but instead of taking the end OF
the line he went to the left hand side, and
thrusting his head close to the window
sid, Two two-cent stamps"
Take the end of the line" SAID the
stamp seller, as he went on serving the
people who had come in first. The man
waited q minute then said:
1.-TWO two-cent-"
.rTaks the end of the line, said o man,
s%pgrily, who had come in before him. BY
this time several more people had come
and added to the length of the line. In
stead of taking the end Of the line he went
over 10 another window, where there was
was also a line Of people, and made known
his request with a similar result. He re-
peated his performance at a third window,
then came and stood opposite the first
window for a moment or so, and after q
customer WIS., served rushed forward
1.-TWO two-cent-"
Take the end of the line" said several
voices Indignantly. The man hesitated
and finally took the end Of the line, after
losing fully Eve minutes, in the half OF
which time he would have been served.
To a Telegram reporter, who also wit
messed the occurrence, one Of the men who
shouted Take the end of the | ne" said:
Il saw that man do the same thing sever
al times" He does it, l believe, when
ever, he wants stamps. Some men are SO

run your eye over it, there's a good fellow
and give me a hint"
Henry glanced at the manuscript. He
happened to look at the list of the persons
ofthe drama. As he read the list he start
ed and turned abruptly to the countess, in
tending to ask her for some explanation.
The words were suspended on his lips. 1t
was but too plainly useless to speak to her.
Her head lay hack on the upper rail OF the
chair. She seemed 10 be half asleep al
ready. The flush on her face had deepened
she looked like a woman who was in dan
ger of having q fit.
He rang the bell, and directed the man
who answered it to send one of the cham
bermsids upstairs. His voice semen to
partially BUS the countess; she opened
her eyes in a slow, drowsy way. "Haye
you read it?" she asked.
1t was necessary, as a mere act OF hu-
mainly, to humor her. 81 will read 1t
willingly" said Henry, eff you will go
upstairs to bed. You shall hea- what l
think of it tomorrow morning. Our heads
will be clearer, we shall be better able to
make the fourth act in the morning"
The chambermaid came in while he was
speaking. 81 am afraid the lady Is ILL.,"
Henry whispered. Take her up to her
room" The woman looked at the countess,
and whispered back, 'Shall we send for
doctor, SIR"
Henry advised taking her up stairs hrst,
ana then asking the managers advice,
There was great difficulty in persuading
her to rise and accept the support CT the
chambermaid's arm. 1t was only by
reiterated promises TO read the play that
night, and to make the fourth act in the
morning, that Henry prevailed ON the
countess to return to her room.
Left to himself he began to feel a certain
lauguid curiosity in relation to the manu-
script. He looked over the pages, reading
a line here and a line there. Suddenly he
changed color as he read-and looked up
from the manuscript like a man bewilder,
ed. 'Glod God! what does this mean?'
he said 10 himself.
His eyes turned ~nervously TO h door
by which Agnes had left him. She might
return to the drawing room; she might
want to see what the countess had written.
He looked back again at the passage which
startled him-considered with himself fol-
a moment-and suddenly and softly left
the room.

was the manager. He was hardly recog-
nizable; he looked and spoke like q MANN
a state of desperation.
''Oh, 90 in if you like" he said to
Henry. MARK this, sir! l am not a
superstitious man; but I do begin to
believe that crimes carry their own
curse with them. This hotel is under
a curse. What happens in the morn
ing? We discover a crime committed In
the old days Of the palace. The night
comes. and brings another dreadful event
with it-a death; o sudden and shocking
death, in the house. Go in and see for
yourself! l shall resign my situation, Mr..
Westwick; 1 can't contend with the fatal
tiles that pursue Inc hereG"
Henry entered the room.
The countess was stretched on her PED
The doctor on one side and the chamber
maid on the other, were standing looking
at her. From time to time, she drew q
heavy stertorous breath, like q person or
pressed in sleeping. rs che likely to die!"

ssShe is dead" the doctor answeied.
dead of the rupture of a blood vessel on
the brain. Those sounds that you hear are
S[lS
purely mechanical--they may go on for
hours"
Henry looked at the chambermaid. She
had little to tell. The countess had re-
fused to 20 to bed, and had placed herself
at her desk to proceed with her writing.
Finding it useless to demonstrate with her,
the maid had left the room to speak to the
manager. In the shortest possible time the
doctor was summoned to the hotel, and
found the countess dead on the floor.
There was this to tell, and nc more.
Looking at the writing table as he went
out, Henry ga the sheet of paper on which
the countess had traced her last lines OF
writing. The characters were almost
illegible. Henry could just distinguish
the words, First Act" and Persons Of
the Drama" The lost wretch had been
thinking of her play to the last, and had
begun it all over again!
